And also repeatedly discovering that fields I studied 30 years ago, that were making good progress, were simply abandoned afaict. Not due to intrinsic difficulty, but because fashions changed, afaict.

It seems like in a lot of fields, the direction is set by a handful of highly creative, productive people who set the research program, and then there’s a few hundred followers who do the grunt work. When for whatever reason the 1-6 leaders stop functioning, the field does too.

A model I like: research fields form as positive feedback loops around little nuggets of insight that get amplified. There's a potential barrier (several) to get over to get that feedback loop started. And so there's zillions of proto-fields that could but don't get started

So alt-research support should identify the activation energy barriers and lower them…
